A little light in Hebron By David Wilder December 13, 2004 We are in the midst of Hanukkah the holiday of lights. Today is also the first day of the new month of Tevet as we say in Hebrew Rosh Hodesh. Hanukkah is generally a happy holiday eight days when we light the menorah, commemorating the miracle of the Maccabees, a minority which overcame a majority of their fellow countrymen and brought about the defeat of the Greeks, the USA of their day. We celebrate the discovery of a small tin of pure olive oil, enough for lighting the Menorah in the Temple for one day, but miraculously lasting for eight days. We observe the victory of true Jewish spirit and culture over that of the Greek empire, a civilization which brought foreign traditions and assimilation to Eretz Yisrael, leading to massive Hellenization of the Jewish people in Israel.

Teachers Walk Thin Tightrope During Holidays AR Articles on Racial Sensitivity The Ways of Our People (Part II) (Oct. 1996) A Certain Trumpet (May 1997) More news stories on Racial Sensitivity Catherine Cranston, Pioneer Press (Minneapolis), Nov. 14 The holidays are almost upon us. As a second-grade teacher in a public school, that means I start my tightrope walk in about one week. My dilemma is how to teach the concepts of Thanksgiving and the holidays without offending someone. I don’t dare actually write the word “Christmas.” I might offend someone. What books should I read? What worksheets should I use? What discussions should I foster? What art projects can I send home? Some argue that I shouldn’t be teaching about “Christmas” or holidays at all. I can argue that holidays are a part of our culture and to pretend they don’t exist is to pretend the outside world doesn’t affect children. Any child walking into a retail store next week will see holiday decorations hanging from the rooftops. Should I not talk to my Hmong students about the American holidays of Christmas and Thanksgiving? I think it is my duty to expose all the children in my room to many cultures and traditions, including long-standing American ones. The first-grade teachers in my school solve the “Christmas” problem by teaching a unit titled “Holidays Around the World.” That seems to say it’s all right to teach about Christmas if you include other holidays as well. I wonder if I teach about Kwanzaa and Hanukkah, I can teach the Christmas story, too? It is certainly a question I have never had the courage to pursue.

Ben can’t handle the idea of no visit from Santa, so Ross tries at the last minute to find a Santa costume. The rental shop is all out so he rents an Armadillo costume instead. Things go from bad to worse but in the end he finally gets to give Ben Hanukkah and Christmas. Phoebe’s apartment in finally done being rebuilt after the fire. Worried that Rachel won’t want to move back in with her, she tries to rive a wedge between Joey and Rachel by giving Joey a drumset and a tarantula. It backfires, but Rachel wants to live with Phoebe anyway. The apartment looks great but no longer has two separate bedrooms. Phoebe likes the spaciousness, so Rachels keeps living with Joey. Chandler tries to master the art of smoothing slipping someone money during a handshake. The one where they said.... Phoebe (to Rachel): So you like the drums? That’s, that’s great! You know, I was worried, you know, that would create maybe an unbearable living situation. But okay, well, apparently not, so yay! Chandler: Hey, Phoebs, if you want to get Joey a Christmas present that disrupts the entire building, why not get him something a little bit more subtle, like a wrecking ball or a vile of small-pox to release in the hallway?

CONTACT Festivals of Light Around the World by Judie Haynes The diversity in many classrooms provides a starting point for children to begin to understand and value the many distinct cultures of the world. What better way to do that than to feature a winter unit on light festivals from around the world. Teach your students about the cultural traditions in France, Sweden, Thailand, Philippines, India, Egypt, Holland, and Mexico. More light festivals will be added so keep checking back. When English language learners see their home cultures and languages being studied in the classroom, they feel their culture has been validated. This helps to develop positive self-esteem in culturally and linguistically diverse children. Introduce this unit by having students find out how to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Year's in different languages. Festival of Light: St. Lucia's Day in Sweden According to folk tradition, December 13th follows the longest night of the year in Sweden. During the winter there are only a few hours of sunlight each day. St. Lucia is honored this day with her wreath of candles. The oldest girl in the family is declared St. Lucia on December 13th. On this day she dresses up wearing a white robe with a red sash and a wreath with candles on her head.

Overview Highlighted Judiths Judith - Part of the Hanukkah Story "Judith" by Giorgione Courtesy of Hermitage, St. Petersburg / Bridgeman Art Library, New York Once Hanukkah festivities included the celebration of two heroes - Judah Maccabee and Judith. Although for several centuries the Rabbis included Judith in their Hanukkah narratives, her story, recorded in the Book of Judith, never made it into the canonized Bible. The Book of Judith promised that her "praise will never depart from the heart of those who remember the power of God," and she acted with a certainty that her legacy would "go down through all generations of our descendants." Neither she nor her contemporaries could have imagined a time when her story, as a story of courage in the face of enormous risks, would cease to be part of the story of the Jewish people passed from one generation to the next. And yet today, Judith's story is a little-known part of the

Introduction Background: Religious Liberty in America Prayer in Public School Religion in the Curriculum ... Education Religion in the Public Schools Teaching About Religious Holidays General Rule: Teachers must be careful not to cross the line between teaching about religious holidays (which is permitted) and celebrating religious holidays (which is not). Celebrating religious holidays in the form of religious worship or other practices is unconstitutional. Teaching about a holiday will be constitutional if it furthers a genuine secular program of education, is presented objectively, and does not have the effect of advancing or inhibiting religion. The U. S. Supreme Court has not specifically ruled on this subject. Please see also ADL's companion piece: The December Dilemma: Guidelines for Public Schools During the December Holidays. May religious symbols be used as teaching aids in the classroom? Yes. Religious symbols such as crosses, creches and menorahs may be used as teaching aids in the classroom provided that the symbols are displayed as examples of the cultural and religious heritage of the holiday, and are temporary in nature. May religious symbols be used as decorations?

In the Classroom: Developing a Madrichim Program in Your School By Lisa Bob Howard Reasons to implement a madrichim program in your school, techniques for using madrichim's talents, how to define their responsibilities, and ways to involve them in classroom activities. Download Printable Version (PDF) Lisa Bob Howard is Director of Education at Temple Beth David in Westminster, California. She has 15 madrichim in her school. The second-graders used to trickle into class late, but no longer. The teacher asked Michael, a madrich teenage aide in her second-grade class, to begin a game about ten minutes before each class. In this time, the teacher finished setting up the room and talked to parents when they dropped off their children. The students were so eager to participate in Michael’s games that tardiness soon ceased. Because of experiences like these, I strongly recommend having madrichim in your classes. Madrichim programs are important for keeping teenagers involved in religious school. Working as a madrich (boy) or madrichah (girl) can help teens build leadership skills and may even influence them to become teachers when they are older. Some schools allow all interested students to become madrichim; others select eligible students among the 8–12

TEACHING ABOUT RELIGIOUS HOLIDAYS Finding Common Ground More info See also Charles Haynes Taking Religious Seriously Across the Curriculum , published by the Association for Supervision and Curriculum Development (ASCD) and the First Amendment Center , available from ASCD (1-800-933-2723) Teaching about Christmas vs. Teaching religion by Angela Ellis Just for information for the ListlerInnen who have raised questions about what one can and can't do in a public school. A quote or two from the brochure I received yesterday " for teachers" about religious festivals. " Teachers must be alert to the distinction between teaching about religious holidays, which is permissible, and celebrating religious holidays, which is not." " Sacred music may be sung or played as part of the academic study of music. ..." " The resolution would seem to be in devising holiday programs that serve an educational purpose for all students - programs that make no students feel excluded or identified with a religion that is not their own." This thing goes ON and ON. I won't bore you all. Added to which, we are an academic magnet school in which exams count for 25% of the semester grade, and we start said exams on Friday the 13th. My school system chose to finish the first semester before the winter break. This means I have to sacrifice a lot of seasonal stuff.
